Royal Air Force Elsham Wolds was
situated on the Lincolnshire Wolds north of Barnetby-le-Wold in
North Lincolnshire. An airfield was first established at the
location during World War 1 when the site was part of the Fighter
Defence Chain and home to C Flight of 33 Squadron.

During World War 2 it was the
home of 103 and 576 Squadrons of RAF Bomber Command, although 100
Squadron also operated from Elsham Wolds for a short time at the
end of the war. In 1946, No 21 Heavy Glider Conversion Unit
of Transport Command took over the base for a year.

The airfield was then closed in
1947 and reverted to agricultural use. In later years part of
the site has been put to light industrial and warehouse use.
There is now also a large water treatment works on one corner
of the site.

The RAF Elsham Wolds Association
was formed in the late 70s by veterans who flew from or served at
Elsham Wolds and has been in being in various incarnations ever
since.
